The cat could be trying to tell you that your "beloved" has been a little lax in her cat ,duties.Maybe that crusty dried out generic brand cat food left in her bowl for three days just isn't appealing.Or she's sickened by having to drink out of the toilet.Maybe her kitty litter box resembles a landfill.Or perhaps she just plain hates you. :lol:

The cat might just want some attention and since you wake up every time she smacks you on the head she keeps doing it. If you pretend to not notice or pretend to stay asleep maybe over time she will stop. However cats are stubborn and consistent so good luck with that lol
